Check out this beautiful cumulonimbus cloud. This was a strong storm over St. Martin Parish. The VIL was pretty high with it, so it may have been producing some hail.#lawx

#Milton is now a Category 5 #hurricane with max winds of 160 mph. Milton joins Michael as the only October Category 5 hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico in the satellite era (1966-onwards).

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

#Beryl is now a #hurricane - the farthest east that a hurricane has formed in the tropical Atlantic (<=23.5°N) in June on record, breaking the old record set in 1933.

Strong wind with the #thunderstorms that push into parts of Jeff Davis Parish. Near 50 mph winds with the line. Small trees are down along with some traffic signals out. @robperillo @Helicity300 @WadeHamptonKPLC #LAwx

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

#Hurricane #Lee is forecast to reach a max intensity of 180 mph. Only seven Atlantic hurricanes in satellite era (since 1966) have had max winds >= 180 mph:

Allen (1980), Gilbert (1988), Mitch (1998), Rita (2005), Wilma (2005), Irma (2017), Dorian (2019)

@NWSLakeCharles @robperillo @Helicity300 @DanielKATC @bradleybwx Just had the outflow from the approaching #severewarned #thunderstorm hit us. Winds where in the 45-50mph range. Plus got a #cglightning bolt #lawx #acadianawx

[Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach]

For the first time since 1950, the Atlantic has two 110+ mph #hurricanes in August simultaneously (#Franklin and #Idalia).

Probably best complete "ring of fire" look to a 7 day QPF forecast I have ever seen!

Watching this light show from my front porch in Guntersville. #LIGHTNING @Helicity300 @simpsonWVTM13 @spann

[Heath Morton @Helicity300]

@BostickJM @robperillo @DanielKATC @NWSLakeCharles Yeah, I was watching it on radar but it didn’t last long. I said on air, if you are getting this shower, you might want to go buy a lottery ticket, lol.
